06/02/2014 - Study visit to Bit Ramadera

On Friday, 31st January the first year, farming course students made a visit to the Bagaria i Tristany company which specialises in rearing friesian calves and various other specialist calf species. The company is based in two separate sites; one in Les Màsies de Voltrega and the other in Gurb. The latter is where the animals are looked after as they grow. Mr Joan Bagaria explained to us about the economic process undertaken during the buying and selling of the calves, the present state of the market and the health, feeding and machine aspects of the farm. We would like to thank Joan for all his help on the day.

Ex Quintanes student, Marc Farrés Garrido, who finished his medium level, pig breeding studies last year, has been proclaimed winner of the above title in the agrarian category, and has earned himself 800€ as part of the award.
Marc achieved the prize with his synthesis project entitled ´Construction project for a workshop to treat milk produced by cows at Les Basses de Manlleu`. The site had always produced milk and also offered beef on a commercial basis. But while Marc was doing work experience at the farm he saw the potential in building on the milk already produced there and offering other dairy products at the on-site shop. His conclusion showed that this was indeed a viable option and today Les Basses offers its customers a wide variety of products.
The prize-giving ceremony took place on the 29th January at the Industrial Ter Museum in Manlleu. It was the sixth edition of the prize organised by the economical promotion office of Manlleu's town council, in collaboration with the Agriculture, Fisheries, Farming, Food Produce and Environmental sections of the Catalan government and Unnim of the BBVA banking group.

03/02/2014 - Study visit to Granges Buadas

On Tuesday, 28th of January the first year, higher level pig breeding management course students visited the Can Vilà farm, owned by Granges Buadas. It holds 1400 sows and is located in Sant Andreu Salou. On the visit we were able to revise all the concepts present in the pig breeding study plan. We would like to thank the Buadas Artau family, and their technicians Pau and Abel, for the advice they gave us on the day.

31/01/2014 - Study visit to Grans del Lluçanès

On Thursday 30th January the first year, higher level Forestry management students went to see the facilities of the Grans del Lluçanès company in Sant Martí d'Albars. They learnt all about the the process of obtaining biomass in pellet form. This actually makes use of the waste produced by wood cutting appliances and the resulting pellets are packed into 15 kilo bags and sold whole-sale. They also discovered how the product is controlled in terms of quality. The students therefore saw how to make use of a bi-product of woodcutting that is a sustainable and cheap source of energy.

30/01/2014 - AGS group trip to London.

As happens every year, we recently had the pleasure of taking the Accés de Grau Superior group on a trip to London. This year's stay in the capital was a great success: four enjoyable days meticulously planned by the school's English department. Among the highlights of the trip were visits to the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park, the London Eye, Big Ben, the Natural History Museum and Camden Market, as well as a boat trip on the river Thames. The students were able to practise their English and learnt how to get around a large city independently. Over the four days we were lucky enough to try specialities such as an English Breakfast, an Indian curry and a pint in a traditional English pub. All in all, a fascinating visit!

30/01/2014 - Study visit to the Montseny forests

On Friday the 24th of January the medium level Forestry students were able to visit the Oak, Chestnut and Holm Oak trees of the Montseny forest area. An ex student, Albert Bosch, who works for the ´Consorci de la Propietat Forestal` organisation, was kind enough to be our guide on the visit. At present he is responsible for the management and assessment of the Montseny area. He told us about the advantages and disadvantages of being a protected zone and how to control and manage infections in Holm Oaks. We were also able to see the effects of other tree infections and the problems caused by wasps in Chestnut trees, the last of which was only detected two years ago. It also proved a good opportunity to see at first-hand the management process involved in looking after Douglas Pines, Cork Oaks and Pine trees in general.

27/01/2014 - Study visit to the Parcs i Jardins de Catalunya company.

On Thursday, 23rd January the first year, medium-level gardening and florist students visited the above-mentioned business in Rubí. The visit was connected to the study plan of the personal management process that our students undertake. Mr Jordi Peiró, from the company's administration department, told us how they dealt with their 35 workers in terms of economic and labour administration management. He also gave us tips on how to find a job, the best way to create an effective CV and how to go about presenting yourself. All in all, it was a very useful and positive visit for our students.

27/01/2014 - Study Visit to Mas El Garet

Recently we visited Mas El Garet in Tona with the medium level, second year pig breeding students. Ex Quintanes student, Lluïs Mauri welcomed us and told us all about running a goat milk producing farm. We were also able to see the farm's cheese-producing facilities that Lluïs and his partner Isidre Mas had built a few years ago so they could provide another product to the already popular milk obtained from their Murcian-Granadine breed of goats. The Mas El Garet cheeses have received various prizes; the most important of which was the silver medal for their ´pebre negre d'arcoc` cheese in the conventional, soft cheese catagory.

27/01/2014 - Study visit to Ca l'Alzina

During the first fortnight of 2014 we visited Ca l'Alzina farm with the medium-level, second year students from the pig breeding course. Ca l'Alzina is a sheep farm located in Santa Agnès de Malenyana. It is a family business that was founded 32 years ago with cows. Over the years the family converted the business to one of sheep farming. They started with only 40 such animals but now have 850 ewes, 25 rams and 75 lambs, all of them belonging to the Ripolles breed.

Joan, the father, and Josep, his son and an ex student of Quintanes, explained to us about the process they use to produce the highest quality of animals. We would like to thank the whole family for welcoming us and giving our students such a positive experience. This also applies to their explanations of the techniques they use, their collaboration in end of year tribunals and for overseeing some of our students` work experience.
